Correct, and it's not as if they choose the B team to evaluate... This guy actually wrote "the book" on history of online gaming and mmog's...

20 years ago, in February 1996, The Syndicate (www.LLTS.org) was born. Much has happened over those 20 years. MMOs were born, grew up and matured, proliferated like rabbits and entirely new genres of gaming were created. We've gone from connecting via dial up modems to staying constantly connected no matter where we are in the world. In that time, over 80 million gaming communities have been formed and ceased to exist with thousands of new ones popping up and dying out every day. Juggernauts and innovators jockeyed for the attention and dollars of gamers with dazzling new products sometimes achieving success and other times crashing and burning. Throughout that time, The Syndicate has published two books, been in a movie, set a Guinness World Record, was the first (and only) gaming community to successfully trademark their entity, had over 150 articles written about us, published numerous strategy guides, hosted 14 annual conferences and helped test and/or consult on over 110 games. It has been an exciting 20 years and we are looking forward to many more. With games like Shroud of the Avatar, Crowfall, Shards Online, Camelot Unchained, Heros Song and Star Citizen on the near term horizon, the future for MMO gaming looks bright and The Syndicate remains happy to be a part of that community.
